Advanced Data Analysis from an Elementary Point of View

This is a draft textbook on data analysis methods, intended for a
one-semester course for advance undergraduate students who have already taken
classes in probability, mathematical statistics, and linear regression. It
began as the lecture notes for 36-402 at Carnegie Mellon
University.

By making this draft generally available, I am not promising to provide any
assistance or even clarification whatsoever. Comments are,
however, generally welcome.

The book is under contract to Cambridge
University Press; it should be turned over to the press at the end
of 2013 or beginning of 2014in earlybefore
the end of 2015 by the end of 2018, inshallah. A copy of the
next-to-final version will remain freely accessible here permanently.
